[quote=Anonymous]There clearly needs to be a “come to Jesus” conversation about roles and responsibilities within the family. Right now his role is solely as breadwinner and he has outsourced all of the family and home stuff to OP. He couldn’t work the kind of hours he does without a very supportive spouse at home. Her SAHM status enables the high earning. It’s *their* money and they need to jointly agree how a lot of it is spent. OP is clearly fine with DH having a healthy amount of “fun” money (car and golf), but OP shouldn’t be a financial prisoner. At this point, I think OP should focus less on the house issue and more around discretionary funds for things like a handyman and vacations and running the home life as she sees fit (since that is her job) - unless her DH would like to take on more of the family responsibilities which would likely impact her career growth. They also need to have some conversations about what their goals are in savings and budget accordingly. [/quote]
